quote

To purchase joy is to lose it.  The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty, without thinking of joy, and then, like sheep, it comes most surely, unsought, and we "being in the way" the angel of God, brighthaired Joy, is sure to meet us.

—  Alexander MacLaren

I t is heaven's will for sorrow to follow joy.

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King.

Today's Fact

 

  
 


Hot & Cold

 
 

Hot and Cold:

Not all substances expand when heated and contract when chilled.

Water freezes when cooled, and part of its change into ice is an alteration of its chemical structure into a crystalline form that takes up more space than its liquid state. Generally, though, it is true that most substances expand when hot and contract when cold.

Gasoline doesn’t freeze. At temperatures less than minus 180 degrees Fahrenheit, it changes to a gummy substance but does not become totally solid..

Today's SMILE

 

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

"What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable."

Joseph Addison

The Priest pointed out that the nearest bridge was 3 miles away. "No problem" replied the Rabbi who knelt down and prayed for a few seconds, then he stood up and walked across the water! The Vicar started packing away his fishing equipment and shouted to the Rabbi to wait for him. The Vicar knelt down said a quick prayer and walked across the river to join the Rabbi. The Priest thought to himself if they can do it so can I. "Wait for me" the Priest called, "There's no point in me staying here on my own", the Priest knelt down and said a prayer stood up walked to the river bank took one step out into the river then vanished beneath the surface. On the other bank the Vicar turned to the Rabbi "Do you think we should of told him about the stepping stones"?

You know dear, you may be right.
